Monty Python lose 'Spamalot' court battle

LONDON (Reuters) - The surviving members of the British comedy troupe Monty Python lost a High Court battle on Friday over tens of thousands of pounds in royalties from their hit Broadway musical "Spamalot".

Mark Forstater, who helped produce the 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" on which the stage show was based, said he had not received his fair share of the profits from the spin-off.
